Family Event Fundraiser at Jane Addams K-8 on Saturday


Do you have kids in pre-school through 3rd grade? Then don’t miss this rare Northwest appearance from the award-winning host of PBS KIDS' Music Time with SteveSongs!

SteveSongs Family Benefit Concert - Saturday, March 3rd at 3:00PM
Jane Addams K-8 School Theatre - 11051 34th Avenue NE, Seattle

Who is SteveSongs?
Steve Roslonek has performed his smart, catchy music from the White House to the West Coast. Entertaining kids and families for a dozen years - but as Zooglobble recommended: “If you just know him as Mr. Steve from PBS Kids, then you’re missing half the story. He’s got a whole bunch of fun, often funny, music for a slightly older crowd.” His music is intelligent, educational, and fun – and something that the adults in the family don’t mind hearing over and over.

Check it out for yourself. Here is a concert video of one of Steve’s great science oriented songs called Gravity -

And this is a link to the brand new Video that Steve did for Recess Rocks – a national program to get our kids up and active -

You can bet that you’ll hear both of these on Saturday – and both will have the whole crowd up and involved!

Tuesday Open Thread

The speaker list is up for the Board meeting tomorrow; not as packed as I thought with just four people on the waitlist. The majority of the speakers are speaking on high school boundaries (with several wanting to talk about Ballard High). There are only three of us speaking about the Green Dot resolution asking the City to not grant the zoning departures that Green Dot has requested.  It's me, long-time watchdog, Chris Jackins, and the head of the Washington State Charter Schools Association, Patrick D'Amelio.  (I knew Mr. D'Amelio when he headed the Alliance for Education and Big Brothers and Big Sisters; he's a stand-up guy.)

Who Is A. J. Crabill (and why should you care)?

Why You Should Care Mr. Crabill has found quite the acolyte in Director Chandra Hampson. In the course of discussions over SOFG, she says his name over and over, "A.J .says we...." Now that's not too surprising given the direction the district is heading and that it is Mr. Crabill's work with the Council of Great City Schools is how we got here. But it appears that Mr. Crabill is working very closely with Hampson and we know she wields some amount of power over the majority of the Board. Mr. Crabill is going to continue to work with the Board as SOFG is instituted in SPS. In fact, his role may become more public as it did at one SPS Board meeting in the spring where he was on the phone during the meeting and suggested the Board stop the meeting to "self-reflect." I also noticed that in a district in South Carolina, when things weren't going to plan, he blamed the Board for not following SOFG to the letter. Look for that to happen here if Board members w

Why the Majority of the Board Needs to be Filled with New Faces

This may only be a partial list of reasons; please, add anything else in the comments. The deadline to file to run for the Board is May 19th. Entire Board Majority NOT vetting the Superintendent in any way, shape or form. Even the Seattle Times thought that was wrong.  It was just absolute hubris and it was wrong. For the second time in just over a year , board members voted to negotiate a superintendent contract during a special meeting with no opportunity for public comment. This time, they showed an even deeper disregard for their responsibilities as public servants: Aborting a national search for a new superintendent and denying Interim Superintendent Brent Jones a chance to show students, parents and taxpayers that, indeed, he is the best person for the job. Government bodies can’t fast-forward through transparent processes just because they think they know the right answer. One other odd thing about the hiring of Brent Jones - most permanent SPS superintendent contracts ar
